We've been recognised for our innovation culture, gender equality and our LGBTI+ inclusion. Plus, we have a robust Reconciliation Action Plan - our fourth edition since

On a personal level you'll have access to flexible work hours, remote work, part-time and job share options. You'll also have - a learning programme 100% personalised to you and the option to build your technical mastery in the Aurecon Design Academy which earns you a Graduate Certificate in Design Management from the prestigious RMIT University. Plus, you'll be supported on every step of your career journey with mentoring, learning and our Careers Hub. Outside of work, you'll be further supported with competitive paid parental leave, cultural public holiday swaps, plus wellbeing support programmes.

What are we looking for from you?

You'll have a genuine passion for re-imagining problems and continuous learning to help shape the future.

Commitment to the Aurecon Way which outlines exactly how we work, what we value, and how you contribute to our story.

We value that each of our team members brings something different to Aurecon. We look for people who have had a broad range of experiences throughout their career and can demonstrate how they have worked as part of a team to bring ideas to life.

As well as experience in a similar Geotechnical Engineering role, you will also need a tertiary qualification in Geotechnical / Civil Engineering, hold Chartership, RPEQ and extensive experience in the delivery of major geotechnical projects including feasibility, concept and detailed design.

It's our people who imagine and co-create with our clients a better future for people and the planet. Of course, you'll probably know lots of our award-winning projects. The new Allianz Stadium in Sydney? That was us. Tāmaki Regeneration in Auckland? That was us too. And the Tseung Kwan O Interchange in Hong Kong? You guessed it, us. So, when you join us, you'll not only be joining an international design, engineering and advisory company but also a community working together to tackle some of the world's most complex challenges.
